Arne Slot opens up after Liverpool's 2-1 win against Brighton in the Premier League
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot shared his thoughts on his squad's victory against Brighton in the Premier League. The Reds maintained possession of 49% while having eight shots on target.
Following the win at home, Slot spoke about his squad's performance and told Sky Sports (via BBC Sport):
"We needed another second-half performance but because we were outplayed in the first half. They were better on the ball, more aggressive without the ball. Then, everything changed in the second half because it was completely the opposite."
"Our attackers scored the goals but the main difference was we were better positioned and we had the ball a lot more. Without the ball they made problems for us but in the second half we just kept running," added the Dutch manager.
With this win against Brighton, Liverpool are currently on top of the Premier League table with 25 points. When asked to share his opinion on that, Arne Slot highlighted their recent performances in the league and expressed confidence in his squad. The former Feyenoord manager said:
"It's more if you play against Arsenal in their stadium and you can get a draw away from home. Brighton are a very strong team as well, they have shown this season. If you face a team like this and are 1-0 down and can come back to a 2-1 win which in my opinion was deserved that gives me a lot of confidence. More than the position we are in."
Arne Slot's men will face Aston Villa next in the Premier League on November 9, at Anfield. The Reds will also play against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League on November 5.
